Saturnalia.

Those Dromarti shoes look very nice, but a bit pricey. Also I'm
strange in that I ride SPD on my right foot, but Riv style on my left
so I need a shoe with a recessed SPD cleat that is also ok riding
without the cleat. The Dromarti Sportive might work, but that hard
rubber sole with little surface area wouldn't be too good. So far the
best I've found are the Shimano MTB shoes like the MT30 etc. They have
a nice wide surface for a platform and a good recess for a cleat and
they can pass for sneakers and are good walking around town. But when
I saw the Exustar's I thought they looked might be perfect. Looks like
I'll have to buy a pair from the UK to see.

Thanks for the info. I'm looking for something that's SPD compatible
so the Exustar's caught my eye.

Haven't tried them but posted a similar question in the CTC forum and
got some good info:

The other Exustar called 'Stelvio' seem a bit wider and more rugged
but has plastic covered leather:

If you use flat or clips pedals there are still some producers of
